dar studied to be an English teacher so its either woman, fag, or commie... you choose.

it's ;)

Yes, I decided that while I'm all too happy to detail my personality defects down to the last decimal point, in public, perhaps that isn't the wisest thing to do in a post-Dave era.

Why the hell not?

It is beyond me how you could percieve potential hurt feelings out of a post solely designed to make you feel better about yourself.

Obviously you don't care for my opinion in this matter, which seriously pisses me off.

Ok, ok. I'm sorry. I lashed out. It's been a hard day. I'm sorry.

See? I don't even have to really say anything serious to be considered inappropriate. All I have to do is pipe up, pipe back down, and someone out of nowhere will decide I'm being an ass and give me a smackdown. Serves me right for piping up in the first place, how many times do I have to learn this lesson?

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY JUJU

look what ya did now, ya little creep.

All right, just so there's no doubt - this pic is old, but it's the only thing I've got handy at the moment.

This was taken near our home in Issaquah when we lived there ~ 10 years ago. That's Gina, my eldest daughter and Ginger.

Testosterone levels check out, you're cleared of wild accusations.

My brother has a degree in English, I'm smeared you by force of habit, my apologies. :)

I seriously was thinking that myself or some others on here would really, seriously be able to help you if you would just open up a little. These are solvable problems that many of us have already gone through. But when I offer my help, you tell me that instead I will just flame you and attempt to hurt your feelings.

How can you say that about me? I am a nice guy. I am not like that. I resent the implication that I am out to get you when I really was only trying to help. You are passively-agressively preemtively calling me an asshole who is out to get you. What the fuck?

For the record, nothing you could say would ever reduce my extremely high opinion of you.

Well, you're not the only one reading, are ya now?

But I heartily appreciate the offer. Of course, in order for the patient to actually improve, he has to truly WANT to change.

juj, arent you like 22 or something? and toad's gotta be late 30's? you've got so much life experience that you've been through more than he has? please. who says it's a problem anyhow?

toad is one of the more even keeled and well adjusted mofos on this board. what the fuck did you eat for breakfast, a speedball? calm down. go burp the baby.

Naw, I'm 28. But I don't think that necessarily makes a difference. A problem can be solved at, say, 22 in one person, and then be solved in 32 in another. People have different experiences.

yeah, ok, i agree, there are some 28 year olds who MAY have more life experience than some 38 year olds, but i dont think that applies right now. and if you'll think about it a little, when toad has needed and wanted advice, he's asked for it....."emotiional distance thread" just because he didnt spill his heart in response to your seemingly casual and "just being polite" offer of assistance doesn't mean he he thinks your an asshole. i'm not saying he DOESN'T think you're an asshole, but, he didnt snap at you or anything.......so i ask again? speedball? no sleep? hair accross your ass? what gives?
